Series is tied at 1-1 as it now moves to Vegas for games 3 and 4. This series has been great so far.
Knights vs Hurricanes game 3
I had thought that the goaltending was going to be a factor in this series but that hasn’t been the case. Howden has more goals in these playoffs than he had during the regular season and it’s players like that that have played huge roles in where the Knights are.
Each team is 6-1 based on where they are playing tonight. With the series now in Vegas the edge should go to the Knights. But with the way the Canes came back to win game 2 after they were down 2-0 with only 10 minutes left in the 3rd will give them momentum. Has been a good series so far so picking a winner is tough. I’ll back the over in this game.
Over 5.5 incl OT
Graeme will be back just he’s busy today. We were talking this morning and he is also on the Over 5.5 incl OT
VEGAS moneyline
full game OVER 5.0
I noticed in the previous game that Vegas for some reason suddenly wasn’t skating in their own end, in overtime, and Carolina instantly took advantage of that. You could smell a goal about to happen. On any shift, the team with the intiative, wins the shift.
I think Vegas takes the Cup if they continue the high pace and never let off the aggressive skating. They have the edge. Carolina will never quit and has enough forwards who can accelerate, to always be dangerous. As for today, I would expect Vegas to come out with crazy high energy, and we’re into OVER 5.0 territory. Also looking for OVER shot counts for props. Best of luck everyone, this should be a GREAT game!
